Montgomery's Inn

Montgomery's Inn, in Etobicoke in Toronto’s west end, was built in the early 1830s as a Georgian-style inn serving travelers on the Dundas Highway between York and settlements farther west. Named for Irish immigrant Thomas Montgomery, who assembled 400 acres northwest of Toronto, it operated as a stagecoach stop offering meals and lodging until 1856, then became a private farmhouse until 1946. After passing through several owners and once facing demolition, it was preserved and transferred to the City of Toronto. Today it survives as a rare reminder of colonial Upper Canada, interpreting 19th-century travel, settlement, and daily life.
